Lynn Morris - Freight Train Blues lyrics
Your rating:
I was born in dixie in a boomer's shack, Just a little shanty by the railroad track Freight train was comin' I had to cry, Hummin all the drivers with my lullaby I've got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo) Oh, lawdy mama got 'em on the bottom of my ramblin' shoes And when the whistle blows, I gotta go Baby don't you know It looks like I'm never gonna lose The freight train blues. Well, my daddy was a fireman in a house out here She was the only daughter of the engineer Sweetheart of the brakeman, that ain't no joke It's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke. I got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo) Oh, lawdy I got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes And when the whistle blows, I gotta go Oh mama don't you know It looks like I'm never gonna lose The freight train blues. Well, the only thing that makes you laugh again Is a south bound whistle on a south bound train Ev'ry place I want to go I never go because you know Because I got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo) Oh, lawdy mama, got 'em on the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
